Exploiting electronic strategies to stabilize a planar tetracoordinate carbon in cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach to stabilize compounds containing a planar tetracoordinate carbon (ptC), embedded in aromatic hydrocarbons, is presented herein. This is achieved by using ligands that promote the formation of a 3c-2e σ-bond with the ptC under two conditions: without altering the sp2 hybridization of the aromatic carbons; and containing empty orbitals perpendicular to the aromatic ring to participate in the aromatic π-electronic delocalization.

Towards design of the smallest planar tetracoordinate carbon and boron systems
A series of cyclic hydrocarbons analogs where a carbon displays unusual planar tetracoordinate structure is proposed, employing hybrid density functional theory calculations using B3LYP functional and 6-311+G** basis set. Various strategies were employed to design the neutral planar tetracoordinate hydrocarbon analogs. The same strategy is employed for designing the planar tetracoordinate boron...
متن کاملComputational design of organometallic oligomers featuring 1, 3-metal-carbon bonding and planar tetracoordinate carbon atoms
Density functional theory computations (B3LYP) have been used to explore the chemistry of titanium-aromatic carbon "edge complexes" with 1,3-metal-carbon (1,3-MC) bonding between Ti and planar tetracoordinate Cβ . The titanium-coordinated, end-capping chlorides are replaced with OH or SH groups to afford two series of difunctional monomers that can undergo condensation to form oxide- and sulfid...
متن کاملA Theoretical Approach to Molecular Design: Planar-Tetracoordinate Carbon
A number of novel hydrocarbon cage systems have been designed and characterized using ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the MP2 and B3-LYP levels. In particular, equilibrium structures for five families of molecules, hemialkaplanes, hemispiroalkaplanes, alkaplanes, spiroalkaplanes and dimethanospiroalkaplanes, have been examined in detail with the aim of designing a saturated hydrocar...
متن کاملRecent advances in planar tetracoordinate carbon chemistry
We summarize our contributions on the quest of new planar tetracoordinate carbon entities (new carbon molecules with exotic chemical structures and strange bonding schemes). We give special emphasis on the rationalization why in this type of molecules the planar configuration is favored over the tetrahedral one. We will concentrate on the latter and will show that molecules containing planar te...
متن کاملThe delocalization index as an electronic aromaticity criterion: application to a series of planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
This work introduces a new local aromaticity measure, defined as the mean of Bader's electron delocalization index (DI) of para-related carbon atoms in six-membered rings. This new electronic criterion of aromaticity is based on the fact that aromaticity is related to the cyclic delocalized distribution of pi-electrons. We have found that this DI and the harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity...
